As previously discussed, Dave Chappelle is playing Radio City Music Hall in June, and since we last spoke his June 19 show was expanded to a 5-night run (6/18-22) which are all sold out.

In addition to those comedy shows, Chappelle will also do three more shows at the venue from June 24-26 that include different musical guests each night. On 6/24 it's The Roots, followed by Busta Rhymes, DJ Premier (who's up to other stuff too) and Janelle Monae on 6/25, and finally Erykah Badu on 6/26. Each one will also feature a full orchestra. Tickets for all three shows go on sale Monday (6/2) at 10 AM with an AmEx presale starting Thursday (5/29) at 10 AM and a local presale starting Saturday (5/31) at 10 AM.

That said. I always felt he has underused his talent considering he would be better than Chris Rock movies-wise. See I Think I Love My Wife and tell me that wouldn't have been a classic comedy up there with any of Richard Pryor's or Eddie Murphy's best comedies (in terms of comedy movies with premier black comedians) if Chapelle was the star in place of Rock who was a nerdass wimp beta sap in that. Rock is the black Adam Sandler: funny as shit onstage, a wet fart onscreen save New Jack City and Lethal Weapon 4 where he wasn't supposed to be funny as neither was a comedy.
